WORK RELATED EXPERIENCE: Worked in various full-time positions throughout the years. For > 16 years, I always worked in a part-time position. This part-time job was to prepare for this and many other businesses for the future.
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Only key committee member selected from Brooks AFB (Human Systems were the bases primary focus. OSA wanted my participation and involvement and paid for my entire attendance) that worked from Start to Completion (1 wk out of every month of 1 yr.) on the OPEN SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE FOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS that became a directive for the Air Force, Army and Navy. It is used for design, development and acquisitions in all new projects. OSA paid for all TDYs, travel expenses and every other amenities that came with being on the project.
Worked
for a year with high-level individuals (in Army, Navy and Air Force) to create
an Open Systems Architecture similar to desktop network and computer systems
but in the Embedded world (i.e. aircraft, tanks, missiles and many other areas)
Our final product was taken to the Pentagon and briefed to the congressional
staff. Here is a view of this briefing: Open Systems
Architecture for Embedded Systems Briefing
This is the schedule of the project.
Strategic Planning Experience - Cost, resources needed, implementation of the
hardware and software needed, office location and storage were some of the other
issue that were covered in the total implementation. Selected operating systems

Managed multiple projects for Lucent
Technologies, Inc. and Brooke Army Medical Center called the
Appointment Patient Automated Access System
(APAAS) system and the
Flatscreen
with Touch
screen technology as shown in the image. Both these projects met schedule
and budget for the government.
Wrote, submitted, discussed and covered all areas of an ADA Exception for the Maintenance Skills Tutor (MST) Project. The ADA Exception was approved from HQ in Dayton Ohio. The MST project fell within the Electronics Data Processing (EDP) processes and procedures which required ADA. Due to Artificial Intelligence (AI), Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and advanced multimedia, the MST project could not use standard ADA technology at that time. The ADA exception allowed us to use Object-Oriented Languages such as Smalltalk, C++ and many advanced multimedia languages and tools to design, develop and deliver an MST. After 7 months of continuous discussions, the ADA exception was 1 of only 3 projects in the Department of Defense at that time that had been approved for worldwide implementation. Received the credit for the approval from Brooks AFB.

HSC-Brooks AFB Project Manager/Director, Dr. Jeffrey Kantor, stated he would represent me for my Ph.D. at St. Mary's University. I graciously denied my Ph.D. and did not want to pursue it at that time. Either he believed in my abilities as a professional and continued trying to persuade me to change my mind and become a Ph.D.
He took various steps such as:
Selected me as the prime person (out of 40 employees) to brief the Commander for approval of the Maintenance Skills Tutor (MST)/multi-million dollar project for HSC/YA. - Project had been approved the first time (never been done before) in the history of Brooks AFB. Excited to be one of the team members that persuaded the Commander of our current and future accomplishments.
Dr. Kantor requested my attendance at a "PhD-Only" meeting of over 30 PhD's throughout Brooks AFB. I attended this meeting and participated with other PhD's throughout Brooks AFB.
Selected me as the Civilian-Side Team Leader (also a Military-only leader, Maj. Sikes) for the Restructuring of Human Systems Division, Systems Program Office of over 330 employees.
Selected,
designed and implemented a
Full Restructure
and movement of over 330 employees within a Directorate. Managed and Directorate
10 of the top employees in each branch at Human Systems Center (HSC) for
3 months. Each team member/employees was very outspoken, opinionated
and direct. This is what made management sometimes difficult yet very successful.
Project had been in operation for over 3 months until complete.
Dr. Kantor requested my participation (as a co-author) in the write-up of a Professional Paper for Publication of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) using Artificial Intelligence (AI), Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), video, audio and advanced Multimedia processes. Accepted and participated the publication shown below:
Professional Paper: Development and Fielding of Intelligent Tutoring Systems for Aircraft Technicians,
Co-authors: Dr. Jeffrey E. Kantor, Rene Salazar, Dr. Gail Tomiak, Dr. Kevin Richardson, and Dr. Sherrie Gott, 12 Jan 94. Published in the American Educational Journal in Mar 1994.
